This isn’t Scotchgard. In fact, this smacks of fake to me. Look at the water – it’s drawn onto the photograph. Also, sheer silk will hold water like that without being treated – I have a silk blouse here and it does exactly that.

Scotchgard was invented by Patsy Sherman and Sam Smith in the 1950s. They were trying to devise a new type of rubber for jet aircraft fuel lines when their assistant dropped a glass bottle and it splashed on a white cotton tennis shoe.

Scotchguard?

I heard a lab worker spilled some on his shoes and when they got wet the water ran off the contaminated area.

Probably a story cooked up by the public relations department.
